heidi is a book about a young Swedish girl who moves to live with her Grandpa on top of a mountain. She comes from a very different world than the place her Grandpa lives, he lives surrounded by mountains, goats and great views.
The reasons I like this book are because you never know what will happen next, and it never fails to interest For example, one of my favourite bits is when she first arrives, and has cheese and milk from the goats. Then as a “special treat” she gets bread with it!
There is a series of her books, but some of the last ones were written by a different author. The books in the series include Heidi Grows Up and Heidi Has Children.
